4.1 Charging the scale
If “BAt” and “Lo” appear on the display
1
one after the other, you must charge the scale. We recommend
that you fully charge the scale before initial use. Connect the scale to a USB power supply using the sup-
plied USB-C cable (see Figure
A
). The scale cannot be used during charging. As soon as the scale is fully
charged, “BAt” and “FuLL” appear on the display
1
. Remove the USB-C cable from the scale. The current
charge level is shown on the display
1
when the USB-C cable is removed.
4.2 Prerequisites for taking measurements correctly
• Place the scale on a flat and stable surface.
• Wherever possible, weigh yourself at the same time every day (ideally in the morning), after having been to
the toilet, on an empty stomach and without clothing.
• To determine your body fat and heart rate/pulse, always stand barefoot on the electrodes
4
on the scale.
• Stand upright and still throughout, from when the weight measurement is being carried out until the heart
rate measurement/pulse measurement is complete. Ensure that your weight is evenly distributed.
4.3 Creating scale users in the “beurer HealthManager Pro” app
The “beurer HealthManager Pro” app makes it easier for you to create user data, is required to transfer meas-
ured values and to display additional values (body water content, bone mineral mass, BMR/AMR, metabolic
age).
The scale has 8 memory spaces for different scale users, enabling you to save the various members of your
family, for example. You can use the “beurer HealthManager Pro” app to conveniently set up the individual
app users and their corresponding scale user via your smartphone. To do so, proceed as follows:
1. Download the free “beurer HealthManager Pro” app from the Apple App Store (iOS) or from Google Play
(Android™).

“beurer HealthManager Pro” app
2. Start the app and follow the instructions.
3. Select BF 980 in the app and press the SET button
5
.
4. Select WIFI network (SSID) and enter password (network key) to enable data transfer to scale via WIFI. If
successful, the cloud
13
and WIFI
14
icons will appear on the display.
5. Set up scale user: if the display
1
shows the scale user (e.g. “U: 1”) and “0.0”, carry out the initial meas-
urement (for subsequent automatic personal recognition if /- 3 kg of the last measurement of this
scale user).
4.4 Weighing yourself
1. Step onto the scale barefoot. Stand still on the electrodes
4
with both legs, making sure to distribute your
weight evenly. The scale switches on automatically.
2. Your body weight appears on the display
1
. The scale user detected (e.g. “U: 1” for scale user 1) should
then appear automatically. If the scale has detected several possible scale users or the last weight is more
than 3 kg apart, use the
button
2
to select the correct scale user and wait 3 seconds.
